There are 64 sides remaining in the draw, with 32 ties to be played between Friday (January 8) and Monday (January 11). There have been a few changes to the format and rules of the FA Cup this season, partly due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. The FA introduced the measure "to assist in easing pressure on the football schedule and to ensure that domestic competitions can still be delivered". That means if the scores are level after 90 minutes, a period of 30 minutes extra time will be played. VARVideo Assistant Referees (VAR) will only be used in nine of the 32 third round ties.
